Temporary Spare Tire

~1min read

Depending on the size of the spare wheel relative to the other wheels fitted and applicable regulations, the spare wheel may be classified as a temporary spare.

The spare wheel rim is made of steel.

Using a spare wheel that is smaller than the other wheels, or using it together with winter tires, adversely affects the vehicle's handling. After the tire is repaired, install the standard wheel without delay.

The spare tire is located in the cargo area under the floor cover. It is secured with a wing nut.

The spare tire well is not designed for all permitted tire sizes. If a wheel wider than the spare must be stored in the well after a wheel change, the floor cover may be placed over the protruding wheel.

Caution This spare tire/wheel is intended for temporary use only. Replace it with the standard wheel as soon as possible. Do not use tire chains. Do not mount any tires on this rim that are not identical to the original tire.

Do not install this wheel on other vehicles.
